The family room was perfect for our family and it is right in the heart of Cobham. Yet, the restaurant and rooms are slightly off the road which provides a bit more privacy and it is not noisy.

Room a little too small
Only criticism we had was that the room and the bathroom were very small. A larger person would have had trouble being able to fit on the loo or in the shower. Also we would have liked two chairs in our room as we stayed for two days and it would have been much more comfortable to watch the Olympics not from our bed. Sitting up on the bed wasn’t very comfortable. We realise the room was too small for two chairs but we thought we had paid for more comfortable room than it turned out to be.

Nice hotel great location
Nice hotel. But could have done with some drawers in room and a decent hair dryer. Also would have been nice to be offered a hand woth luggage as the stairs were quite uneven.

Lovely old building, tastefully updated to serve as a good hotel. Excellent kitchen; both dinner and breakfast were tasty, imaginative and well served. Parking was tight but manageable. Despite numerous posted warnings in the bathroom about "VERY hot water" and "Towel rail will be HOT", the towel rail stayed cold throughout our stay and the basin water ran no more than warm. The shower was good, though, with plenty of hot water and pressure although it was very cramped for space. We still enjoyed our stay very much; this is a lovely property, very central, within easy walking distance of everything yet far enough from the main road for traffic noise not to register.

We loved everything about the Dial House. Its location in the center of Bourton on the Water made it easy to get around. We had 3 different rooms due to making reservations at different times & they were all comfortable & charming. The breakfasts were delicious & filling. I highly recommend The Dial house!

Fantastic stay and highly recommended
Location was fantastic. Located in the heart of Bourton-on-the-water, near a pharmacy, supermarket, restaurants and right by the River Windrush. We stayed at the Oscar Room which has a great view of the town and the river. Bourton-on-the-water was also a larger town with more amenities. The other town to consider staying in is Stow-on-the-wold. There are other nice little towns in Cotswold but will have to drive out to get anything else. The only thing is, the Hotels.com website indicated breakfast was included so we didn’t pay for a room with breakfast because there wasn’t this option. Overall, thank you for the lovely stay. Service was excellent with friendly staff.

Very cosy property. Stairs to room 9 were steep with not much room at the top of the landing for cases whilst trying to get the key in to unlock the door to our room. Some might really struggle with this.

A reasonably priced property that is quaint and central to the village. The room was tiny and smelled musty, especially the bathroom. There were also big cobwebs above the wardrobe. It was fine for one night and we had an excellent breakfast. If I was staying longer than one night I would pay for a better room. The communal rooms were lovely. We were able to keep the car in the car park for a few hours after checking out which was much appreciated. The staff was friendly, kind and helpful.
